Communist Faction of Egypt

The Communist Faction of Egypt was a communist political faction in Egypt that was active from 1880 to 1914. The party was founded as the result of a split in the Socialist Faction of Egypt, with radical Marxists forming a new "Communist" faction to push for greater revolutionary reforms. The faction argued very similar views to the Socialist Faction, but it advocated for complete state atheism (instead of having a secular state) and in favor of increased military spending (instead of decreased). The faction was always dangerous due to wielding a considerable amount of power among Egyptian workers, and it was dissolved when Egypt became a British protectorate in 1914.
